CHAPTER

The Impact of the Sexual Revolution and the Abolition of Sex

This chapter examines the consequences of the sexual revolution on society, focusing on marriage, sexual relations, and the decline of traditional norms. It explores how stabilization of certain social indicators has led to a decrease in marriage and childbirth rates, with young men retreating into virtual worlds and pornography. The chapter also discusses the effect of this trend on other liberated societies and argues that society has embraced a sterile version of adult life.
